So I know its a long time in advance, but any interest in an Oz Monster meet up somewhere in the NSW / VIC alpine region to coincide with the wsbk round?

I'm thinking not so much of a large group ride to get there (better to do the longer haul in smaller groups), but rather a central place to stay where we can o/nite it and spend a day in the great alpine regions. From there, onwards to some wsbk action at the island.

what say you all? Any interest? post up people!

Interest.
Yeah I'd be keen on doing that.
How long would you be away 5-7 days?

Great minds GoldFish im in for sure having missed the tourismo

Definite maybe. 

I'm pretty certain I'd be up for it. I've been looking at doing the Alpine Way run for a while now. Attaching WSBK to it at PI would be sweet.

TRACK DAY   

You have my attention, keep talking 

Well, it's like this you see.......
Long straight followed by what is the best bike track on Earth.
Turn 1
Southern Loop
Cyberier
Hay Shed
Lukey Heights  but mostly 
Then the run back on to that fantastic long straight.
Best fun you can have on two wheels.

$219.00 for a day of even more fun than Eastern Creek can offer.

Hmmmm........

yeah around a week, perhaps a little more depending on how you get there and back.

The track day afterwards the wsbk round is the afterburner day, don't forget that lots of people hand around for it, and from what I was told, last year they overbooked it, with over 50 bikes on the track at each level - that's a lot of bikes, esp given that most people have spend the preceding days watching some good racing on the same track, it seems to me that it's not necessarily the best idea, but each to their own.

What I'm thinking is something like a Ducati in the Snowys - perhaps a 1 or 2-night stay over in the alpine region, followed by a trip down to the island for the weekend's races. The idea being that the journey is the adventure, and a weekend's racing is the icing on the cake.

So, some ideas:

Smaller groups make their own way to the meeting point, allowing people to take as much time as they want.
We then have some planned rides - the alpine way, the road up hotham etc etc.
A social even gathering (of course!)
A planned route down to the island for the races...
Somewhere to stay on the island together?


Oh, any interest from our Mexican friends, or any other state for that matter?

I like the boy!!

Good thinking Goldie, I'm definately thinking of going, just not sure how though at the moment.

How'd you go with the bits Mick any good 

OK so far we have interest from:

goldFiSh
Mattyvas
Dockstrada
Super TIB
Craigo
Monstermick58

and Bazz wanting to catch up when we make it to the island.

When I get a moment in the coming weeks, I'll post some more info and thoughts!

Cool, I'm sure there is lots of time to plan a fun and twisty trip to PI.
I could even be on a bigger bike by then?
